Hey Doughnut! Hey!

Any time you see “rustic” in a food description you can assume that it means it isn’t polished. In this case, the doughnut holes are not smooth, have a slightly irregular shape, and a crunchy outside. And they are also delicious and easy to make. Not too sweet, great for a brunch treat or a dessert, enjoy.

Rustic Doughnut Holes

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 egg

1 scant cup buttermilk or coconut milk

flavorless oil for frying

1/2 cup sugar and 1 Tbs for tossing

Mix together all the dry ingredients. Beat together the egg and the coconut milk. Mix the wet into the dry. Heat a couple of inches of oil in a heavy pot over medium-medium high heat. Using a teaspoon, drop the batter into the oil and cook, turning them over until they are lightly golden all over. Remove from heat and mix with the sugar/cinnamon blend to lightly coat (the easiest way to do this is to shake them in a paper bag, which also has the benefit of removing some of the oil.
